JERUSALEM (WNS) — Justice Minister Yaacov Shimshon Shapiro, who earlier had called for the resignation of Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, has resigned himself. The top candidate to succeed him is the chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Haim Zadok, who is one of the country's leading lawyers. Zadok served as Commerce Minister in a previous government.
GENEVA (WNS) — An Austrian Ministry of Interior spokesman announced here that the Schoenau Castle camp for Soviet Jewish emigrants will be closed and replaced by a new camp at Traiskirchen, 12 miles south of Vienna. The new camp will be operated by the International Committee for European Migration in Geneva and no longer by the Jewish Agency.
The spokesman said the new camp will be a transit point at which refugees "will spend a few hours at the most" and not days as at Shoenau.
JERUSALEM (WNS) — Since the outbreak of war 1,000 young volunteers, half from the United States and the rest mainly from Britain and Europe came to Israel and are working on kibbutzim replacing mobilized members. Mordechai Bar-Ow, head of the World,Zionist Organization youth and halutz depart¬ ment, told a Zionist Executive meeting that another 1000 youths are expected. All paid their own fare and will stay for at least six months.'
PARIS (WNS) — Since the start of the Mideast war there has been no news from Jews in Damascus and all Jewish" ttieri in the town of Aleppo have been im¬ prisoned and their wives and children put under house arrest, according to diplomatic sources here. There are 3,500 Jews still living in Syria from a population of ' 30,000 in 1946 and their existence was "precarious" even before the present crisis.
Israeli Prisoners Of War Issue Still Not Completely Resolved

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Defense Minister Moshe Dayan revealed in the Knesset on Oct. 30 that an exchange of wounded prisoners of war with Egypt is already under way. But that is only the first of four demands concerning POWs that Israel has presented to Egypt, Dayan said. The
other three, so far not im¬ plemented, are for full lists of names of POWs, per¬ mission for Red Cross representatives to visit Israeli POWs in Egyptian hands and a full POW ex¬ change. Dayan said that about 320 Israeli soldiers were missing on the Egyptian front and presumably were taken prisoner. Egypt so far has submitted 82 names which

GENEVA, (JTA) - The Schoenau Castle camp for Jewish emigrants from the Soviet Union will ■ be definitely closed within the next two weeks and will be replaced by a new camp which will be run by the International Committee for European Migration in Geneva, and no longer by the ( Jewish Agency, an Austrian Ministry of Interior spokesman said here on Oct. 31. He stated that the Schoenau camp will be closed as soon as the new site
Premier Golda Meir Meets President Nixon Asserts No Pressure On Israel From U.S.

WASHINGTON (WNS) — In the wake of reports here and in Jerusalem that the United States is pressuring Israel for concessions, Israeli Premier Golda Meir flew to Washington for clarifications. After holding a breakfast meeting with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger followed by an 80- minute meeting in the White House with President Nixon and Dr. Kissinger, Mrs. Meir denied that.there was any U.S. pressure on Israel. However, before leaving Jerusalem it was reported that the Premier wanted to see where U.S. pressure, which was not yet intense, was leading to; to learn what issues the U.S. would rather press Israel than confront the Soviet Union and to what extent Israel can look to American support in the diplomatic struggle ahead.
In Washington, Mrs. Meir told a press conference that the U.S. and Israel were united in their desire to preserve the ceasefire and to achieve a settlement in the region. She said she and Nixon discussed the Oct. 22 ceasefire lines but no one really knew where they
existed.
Earlier it was announced that Dr. Kissinger will visit four Arab capitals on his way to the People's Republic of China and Assistant Secretary of State Joseph J. Sisco will visit two others and Israel. Iraq and Syria have reportedly rejected
Kissinger's request to visit them, Nixon met Egyptian Foriegn Minister Moham¬ med Zacharia Ismail before he met with Mrs. Meir. Fah- mi, who had gone to Austria to congratulate its. govern¬ ment for closing down the center for emigrating Soviet

at Traiskirchen, 12 miles south of Vienna, will be operational, but "not later than two weeks from now." The new camp, the spokesman said, will serve as a transit point at which the refugees ''will spend a few hours at the most." The refugees, the spokesman said, will leave Vienna aboard EI Al charters which will call twice a day and be able to pick up some 200 refugees daily. About 150-180 Soviet refugees arrive every day in the Austrian capital, a larger figure than before the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War.
On October 7, 1973, due to the outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East, caused by the surprise attack on Israel from Egypt and Syria, world Jewry responded to. the crisis and the emergency with financial support for the humanitarian needs of Israel while all/--of Israel's resources were directed toward military purposes. Columbus Jewry, through
the Columbus Jewish Federation; formerly the UJFC, responded im¬ mediately like all other federations throughout the country. Fortunately, the Columbus Jewish Federation had, in a large measure, intact, its 1973 campaign leadership as well as the formation of its 1974 campaign leadership. It was immediately brought into action.
Initially, the dramatic events called for a massive response of cash to be derived from the pledges of 1973 and from balances due from prior years. In ad¬
dition, there were those who responded with additional gifts above and beyond their 1973 donations, many as special gifts for the emergency. Others were prepared to respond with unprecedented' large gifts representing their donations for 1974 for both the Regular Fund and the Israel Emergency Fund.
In the subsequent weeks which followed, it became quite obvious that the Emergency Campaign was the prelude for the 1974 Campaign. The Columbus Jewish Federation

U.S. Pressure On Israel?

WASHINGTON, (JTA) - Ttie impression seemed to be gaining here on Oct. 30 that the United States, itself under severe international and some domestic strain, is putting pressures on Israel to back down from its hard- won military and political positions. While little hard evidence , was, publicly visible, knowledgeable
observers held that Washington is saying in effect to Israel-"We saved you from the Arabs and the Russians with our' weapons and veto power in the UN. Now you listen to us and start moving towards a quick and practical solution with the the Arabs-you< Noy^g, 1967." President,' Nii&nmlTSeocetary of State' Henry A. Kissmger have' reiterated, since Egypt and Syria attacked Israel on Oct. 6, the longstanding U.S.
commitment to Resolution 242 and now it appears that the Administration is about to go through with insistence that Israel comply with it. Domestic, European and Japanese fears of an oil boycott and the problems associated with that, the fragility pf Soviet-American detente * which underlies much of the Nixon Ad¬ ministration's viability, and the U.S. desire to return to friendly relations with the

The Designated Professorship was formally established by the Board of Trustees last May. A gift of $100,000 through the university's Development Fund, pledged over the next five years by the United Jewish Fund and Council of Columbus, will support the new faculty position.

D. in Jewish history are offered, and more than 50 courses in Hebrew language and , literature, Jewish history, and Jewish philosophy now are available to students who wish to follow a Hebrew major or an in¬ terdisciplinary rnajo^ in Jewish Studies, This academic area began at Ohio State in 1965 with the- establishment of the Samuel
